The chemical composition of five foods (UHT milk, beef broth, pudding, cream sauce, and liquid whole egg) was examined to determine factors important in achieving uniform temperatures within foods heated in a 700 W microwave oven. Proximate analyses were performed on all food systems to relate their chemical composition to temperatures and to destruction of microwave-heated Salmonella species, Listeria monocytogenes Scott A and V7 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Microwave heating times were chosen such that the final mixed mean temperature achieved by systems was 60°C for Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenes, and 65°C for S. aureus. The amount of destruction of Salmonella spp. varied from 3.17 log CFU/ml in UHT milk to 0.44 log CFU/ml in beef broth. L. monocytogenes strains incurred the greatest amount of destruction in pudding (2.39 log CFU/g), while the least amount of destruction was observed in cream sauce (1.63 log CFU/ml). There were no significant differences in the amount of destruction of S. aureus heated in the five foods. The pH and aw of these foods did not affect survival of thermally stressed Salmonella, L. monocytogenes, or S. aureus cells. Of the food components examined, sodium content was the primary influence on the uniformity of temperatures achieved within foods, and, in turn, on the survival of bacteria.

The growth behaviour of foodborne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp.) was investigated in pasteurised camel milk and compared with pasteurised bovine milk at different incubation temperatures. This study also aimed to compare the growth patterns of these four foodborne pathogens in pasteurised and raw camel milk. Pasteurised or raw camel milk and pasteurised bovine milk were separately inoculated with a cocktail of three strains of each foodborne pathogen. The inoculated milk samples were incubated at 10, 25, and 37°C. The total bacterial count (TBC) in raw milk and the total thermoduric bacteria count (TDB) in pasteurised milk samples were monitored. Greater growth inhibition rates of four pathogens were obtained for the pasteurised camel milk compared to the pasteurised bovine milk. Raw and pasteurised camel milk exerted bacteriostatic effect against all tested pathogens, particularly for the first 8 h of incubation in milk at the different temperatures. Pasteurised camel milk exerted an inhibitory activity that was equivalent to that of raw camel milk.

Potentially hazardous foods require time/temperature control for safety. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Code, most cheeses are potentially hazardous foods based on pH and water activity, and a product assessment is required to evaluate safety of storage >6 h at 21°C. We tested the ability of 67 market cheeses to support growth of Listeria monocytogenes (LM), Salmonella spp. (SALM), Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EC), and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) over 15 days at 25°C. Hard (Asiago and Cheddar), semi-hard (Colby and Havarti), and soft cheeses (mozzarella and Mexican-style), and reduced-sodium or reduced-fat types were tested. Single-pathogen cocktails were prepared and individually inoculated onto cheese slices (~105 CFU/g). Cocktails were 10 strains of L. monocytogenes, 6 of Salmonella spp., or 5 of E. coli O157:H7 or S. aureus. Inoculated slices were vacuum packaged and stored at 25°C for ≤15 days, with surviving inocula enumerated every 3 days. Percent salt-in-the-moisture phase, percent titratable acidity, pH, water activity, and levels of indigenous/starter bacteria were measured. Pathogens did not grow on 53 cheeses, while 14 cheeses supported growth of SA, 6 of SALM, 4 of LM, and 3 of EC. Of the cheeses supporting pathogen growth, all supported growth of SA, ranging from 0.57 to 3.08 log CFU/g (average 1.70 log CFU/g). Growth of SALM, LM, and EC ranged from 1.01 to 3.02 log CFU/g (average 2.05 log CFU/g), 0.60 to 2.68 log CFU/g (average 1.60 log CFU/g), and 0.41 to 2.90 log CFU/g (average 1.69 log CFU/g), respectively. Pathogen growth varied within cheese types or lots. Pathogen growth was influenced by pH and percent salt-in-the-moisture phase, and these two factors were used to establish growth/no-growth boundary conditions for safe, extended storage (≤25°C) of pasteurized milk cheeses. Pathogen growth/no-growth could not be predicted for Swiss-style cheeses, mold-ripened or bacterial surface–ripened cheeses, and cheeses made with nonbovine milk, as insufficient data were gathered. This challenge study data can support science-based decision making in a regulatory framework.

Foodborne pathogens are serious public healthproblems that greatly affect the cost of food production and healthcare while poultry are often associated with foodborne disease outbreaks. This study aimed at investigating the occurrence and distribution of bacterial pathogens associated with chicken meats sold around Bayero University, Kano old site. A total of twenty (20) meat samples comprised of 10 frozen and ten freshly slaughtered chicken were purchased from different selling outlets around the study area. The samples were processed using standard cultural and biochemical procedures. The results of the study showed the mean aerobic mesophilic bacterial count of 5.93 x 106 CFU/g and 3.12 x 106  CFU/g for frozen and freshly slaughtered chicken meat samples respectively. The coliform counts were 420.1 and 347.7 CFU/100g for frozen and freshly slaughtered chicken meat samples respectively. The distribution of different bacterial species revealed E. coli (26.0%), Klebsiella spp (4.0%), Salmonella spp (19.5%), Campylobacter spp. (14.6%) and Staphylococcus aureus (30%) in frozen chicken meat samples while freshly slaughtered chicken meat samples revealed E. coli (21.0%), Klebsiella spp (8.9%), Salmonella spp (30%), Campylobacter spp. (15.0%) and Staphylococcus aureus (24.0%). This showed that frozen chicken meats were more contaminated than freshly slaughtered chicken meats which might be associated with poor handling and storage conditions.

A atividade antimicrobiana de uma cultura comercial probiótica  deLactobacillus  sakei  (ATCC  1521)  foi avaliada em termos de concentração celular (30, 42, 60, 78 e 90 mcg / ml, 105 - 107UFC/mL), temperatura de incubação (4, 10, 20, 30, 37 ° C) e pH inicial do meio de cultura (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 e 5.5) contra três patógenos alimentares, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes e Staphylococcus aureus. O efeito antagônico da cultura probiótica in vitro foi realizada através da aplicação de método quantitativo espectrofotométrico. Os resultados indicaram que uma substância inibitória presente em caldo de cultura de 24 horas poderia ser vantajoso quando mantendo a cultura dominante durante fermentações mais prolongadas. Para a maior produção de ácido láctico (1,04%v/v), o período de incubação da bactéria em caldo MRS foi de 24 horas em condições aeróbicas e a 37 ºC, com um valor de pH mínimo do sobrenadante (3,5). Os dados sugerem que o sobrenadante pode ter atividade bacteriostática significativa contra E. coli,L. monocytogenes e S. aureus, e pode fornecer carnes curadas com um grau de protecção contra este microorganismo, particularmente se empregada com uma combinação de pH ácido, e de refrigeração adequada.

Leafy Greens

Previous empirical evidence has demonstrated that low socioeconomic status (SES) communities have higher rates of gastroenteritis; however, there is a paucity of literature on the safety and quality of food (fresh produce) accessible to these communities. The overarching goal of this study was to investigate the microbial safety and quality of fresh leafy greens from low and high SES neighborhoods in the Houston, Texas area. Fresh greens were purchased from low and high SES neighborhood retailers and APC, coliform, E. coli , yeast, and mold assays were conducted. In addition, enrichment was performed on all samples for Listeria monocytogenes , Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., and E. coli O157:H7 and RT-PCR analysis was carried out. The results showed that generic E. coli , coliform, yeast, and mold were present in significantly higher counts ( P < 0.05) in produce obtained from low SES neighborhoods as compared to high SES neighborhoods. The RT-PCR results showed that 38% of samples from high SES areas were positive for Staphylococcus aureus versus 87% of samples from low SES areas. None of the samples from high SES areas were positive for the other pathogens. The samples from low SES areas were positive for E. coli O157:H7 (4%), Salmonella spp. (53%), Listeria monocytogenes (13%), and Staphylococcus aureus (87%). Based on these results, the most common challenges are associated with poor personal hygiene, cross contamination, and time/temperature abuse, all of which are most likely to occur in the retail setting. These results demonstrate a significant disparity in the quality and safety of fresh leafy greens accessible to low versus high SES populations. Future studies can be designed to identify the specific cause of this challenge by investigating the food supply chain.
